Middle East Conflicts and Terrorism

The core of the conflicts in the Middle East is the battle between early

medievalism, very primitive, very violent, the forces of

militant Islam and modernity. The core

of the conflict, the Israeli Palestinian conflict,

is the persistent

refusal to recognize the Jewish state in any borders.

We will return to what we once were, moderate,

open Islam, open to the world and to all religions.

Changing these books that are filled with poison

and teaching children to hate Jews.

Because they resulted in the creation of terrorist organizations, and the creation of extremist groups

that killed lives all around the world.

To more Arab and Muslim countries that

choose moderation over extremism.

We will not waste 30 years of our lives

dealing with any extremist ideas. We will destroy them today,

immediately.

And we will not allow Iran to establish a suffocating ring of terrorism around us.

We are working on this around the clock and will continue to work through

Offensive and defensive action against the aggression of Iran and its

terrorist proxies.

Iran's actions. The Iranian regime's support for terrorism is not

limited

to Hezbollah, the Houthis, or these organizations.

This is a battle against the Iranian axis, the axis

of Iranian terrorism, which now threatens to close the Bab

el-Mandeb Strait, threatening freedom of navigation throughout the

world.

These militias pose a threat to international navigation and to

all of Yemen's neighbors. If we wait a little longer,

the situation will become more complicated, and the danger will reach the territories

of Saudi Arabia and the countries of the region.

We are not acting alone. The United States, as well as

other countries, also see the Houthis as posing

a threat not only to international navigation,

but to the international order.

We all know these dangers, and there is no ambiguity about them. We

communicate and coordinate on how to address them and ensure that the whole world

is safe and secure.

I appreciate that you are taking steps to open this strait.

It is not only in our interest, I believe it is

in the interest of the entire civilized world.

This power and these relations with our allies in the Middle East and with

France and its allies in Europe will undoubtedly be very important

in confronting all challenges on the political front.

Whoever attacks us will pay a heavy price,

but whoever enters into a partnership with us

supports progress and security for their people.

If you want the economy to grow, and if you want your income to improve,

you must eradicate this project for a worldly benefit.

President Trump said it, and it also appears in the Gospel:

Whoever blesses you will be blessed, and whoever curses you will be cursed.
